In response to the recent atrocities committed in Lebanon, the Lebanese-American community of Greater Boston will lead a peaceful demonstration and candlelight vigil at Copley Square on Wednesday, July 19, starting at 5pm. This grassroots event is one of many being organized across the U.S. and worldwide.

In solidarity with the people of Lebanon, the Lebanese-American community of Greater Boston strongly supports the Lebanese Government in:

Denouncing the Israeli Military’s killing of innocent Lebanese civilians, devastation of Lebanon’s infrastructure, and terrorizing its entire population

Demanding an immediate and unconditional ceasefire to end all hostilities and halt the maritime and air siege imposed by Israel on Lebanon

Urging the U.S. Government and international community to provide comprehensive support in ending the destruction of Lebanon and aiding in its full recovery

Establishing its sovereignty over all Lebanese territory with the sole right and duty of defending the dignity and security of all Lebanese citizens

The Lebanese-American community of Greater Boston calls on all concerned citizens to join us at the vigil for the immediate cessation of the humanitarian and economic catastrophe taking place in Lebanon today
